the election to vote upon the question
being already called. A number Of citi
zens have been engaged in measuring
the public pulse upon this question, and
they report that very little opposition to
the proposition Of bonds for court
house is met with. There seems to be no
question bat that the county has entirely
0utgrOwn its present accommodations.
In fact, it became SO urgent question of
room that the commissioners, before Sc
riously entertaining the building propo-
sition, negotiated for the lease Of block
affording over double the room at pres
ent occupied. But strong opposition to
the plan at once manifested itself, and
undoubtedly an Injunction would have
been issued against their moving to addi-
tional leased rooms. 1t appeared, there
fore, that to occupy the present crowded
quarters or build was all that was left to
do. and hence the call. From what the
BEE can learn all widc.awake citizens are
favoring new court house.

PLATING ADDITIONS.
Lincoln real estate men are busy these
days plating additions, and it is raw
weather when three or four new subdi
visions. all labeled the best, are not laid
Oft into town lots around the city. An
eastern man was discussing the incon-
gruity Of names Of many Of the additions
yesterday. For instance, there is Oak
Hill, lying west Of the city on high
ridge of ground that never saw an oak
tree. MaplewOod addition is good OK
cept the naples, and Elmwood ditto
Hyde Park is without a park, and so on
the pleasant names abound without thu
necessary surroundings to make the
name reality.

cupy desk room in the county buildln
